If I go to one more wedding that uses "Pachabel's Canon", I WILL go apeshiat, and I will not be held responsible for my actions. PICK A BETTER SONG, COOKIE CUTTER BRIDES.

Just had a chat with the future Ms. Spiffed. She agrees about Pachabel's Cannon being badly overdone at weddings and said its not for us. but... we've been talking about having a string quartet anyway, and she plays a mean bass guitar.... so we're considering including Canon.. as long as it is funtwo's version of Canon Rock.. and she plays the bass part after a nice fake-out intro by the quartet. She's all for the exploding heads that's liable to cause.

I know this is going to make some people all kinds of stabby, but I have to list.

Ever been to or watched a sporting event? I will bet dollars to donuts that you heard one or all of these songs, possibly multiple times during said event. Hearing these songs over and over again is like having my ears stabbed with a pencil.

1) Welcome to the Jungle2) Crazy Train3) Enter Sandman4) Anything at all by AC/DC5) That "We READY" crap, do not even know the name of the "song".6) Seven Nation Army is starting to annoy the shiatsnacks out of me.

Just because it is old, does not make it better. I used to like listening to AC/DC when I was younger. Their music just does not age well.

any version of "Pave Paradise" will have me diving for the radio controls. Pearl Jam's cover of "Last Waltz" too. Sheryl Crow's covers...The Who...actually anything played on mainstream classic rock stations. not that i don't like the bands but i'm certain the rolling stones have a large enough discography that i don't have to listen to "jumpin jack flash, paint it black and start me up" on a regular rotation.same for the who, zep, ac/dc and the rest...

pute kisses like a man:Mikey1969: pute kisses like a man: wrong, hallelujah is a great song. maybe you don't like the covers. but i won't stand idly by as people have nonsensical opinions over leonard cohen

FirstNationalBastard:Welfare Peanut Butter: varmitydog: FirstNationalBastard : Also missing: Any version of "Hallelujah", especially in a movie or TV show.

You don't really care for music, do you?

I will defend this choice, if only because it literally is inescapable if you watch movies/TV with any sort of regularity. That POS is EVERYWHERE, being covered by everyone, and it gets grating after awhile. It's not an awful song, but it gets bad pretty quickly when you hear it so often. Pick something else, whoever has the job of picking music for shows/movies.

Exactly.

The list was "songs you never need to hear again"... not necessarily shiatty songs, although many of them are shiatty. But every time someone needs a shallowly deep moment in TV or Movies, Hallelujah gets dusted off and thrown into the soundtrack. It needs to be stopped.

clkeagle:I've been keeping a similar list - classic rock songs that should never, ever, ever be played on the radio. Because of my age, I'm not terribly bothered by songs like Stairway To Heaven or Hotel California or Freebird. I'm more sick of songs that are done to death in commercials, TV shows, movies, etc. Come on, classic rock stations. You have a huge catalog to choose from. Nobody is interested anymore when these are played on the air... if you channel surf on cable TV for 45 minutes, you're guaranteed to hear at least one of these:

1. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama2. Kiss - Rock N Roll All Night3. George Thorogood - Bad To The Bone4. Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild5. Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA6. John Mellencougar - Jack & Diane7. The Who - Who Are You

Dear Hollywood: in fairness to other musicians, we are instituting a 20 year ban on Motown music in film, particularly romantic comedies

Barricaded Gunman:sigdiamond2000: My office pumps Christmas music into the sh*tters .... I'm still gun shy about heading to the bog even now that they're back to playing 80s era Phil Collins and Steve Winwood. I think I need to see some kind of sh*t shrink.

I NEVER want to hear any those shiatty songs ever again. I don't know what it is about those songs, but they grate the hell out of my nerves. It's not that they're bad songs, they just piss me off every time they come on the radio or whatever.
